Another in the Place Sainte-Anne, Rennes, France, 2009. There's at least three ads in this one: Dubonnet, Byrrh and Ripolin paints.
This is a pretty classic early thirties three piece suit, which I believe to be serge, although I’m no fabric expert. The trousers are button fly with a flat front, and the jacket is a 6 x 2 with two buttons on each sleeve and two inside pockets, one on the upper right and another beneath the...
I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of vintage stuff you guys have from the high school/college you attended or are attending, such as pennants, sweaters, ephemera, etc.
